Japanese Design Today 100

The exhibition includes approximately 100 items, most of which are products released after 2000, but it also includes several masterpieces from earlier times in which we can trace the roots of contemporary Japanese design. From objects such as consumer products to intangible systems and services, the designs we use in our daily lives speak volumes about the evolution of our lifestyles and society. We hope this wide-ranging exhibition will convey not only the characteristics of Japanese design, but also the current state of Japanese culture.
